Elephant icon

As part of a recent infographic project I needed to design an elephant icon. At first I traced the outline of an elephant, but it didn't really fit the overall clean and stylized style of the infographic. So I went back to the drawing board and made a stylized icon of an elephant.
A really fun process actually. When looking at photographs and making my first sketching I constantly wondered things like: What is the essential shape of this creature? What can I leave out and still keep a recognizable elephant?
